This dog-friendly holiday home is located within a gorgeous 18th-century estate, providing an ideal retreat for pet owners. The grounds include landscaped grounds, a serene boating lake and a charming walled garden – perfect for leisurely walks with your four-pawed friend. At the nearby village of Itteringham (2.5 miles), you’ll find a country pub where dogs are welcome, along with a village shop for picking up supplies.

You’ll love the beautifully styled interiors of this period property, which boasts a relaxing view of parkland and woods. The entrance hall is perfect for brushing off muddy paws and removing walking boots after a day's adventure. When it’s time to cosy up, head into one of the living areas – a lounge and a snug – both with open fires so you can keep man and dog warm. The kitchen and dining area provide ample space for preparing group meals and plates for the dogs. Completing the downstairs layout in a lovely single bedroom. Up on the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one of which features an en-suite with a roll-top bath. The second double room has a door to the Jack and Jill family bathroom.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the gatehouse. Beautifully decorated and appointed and a stunning view from every window. Perfect location to meet friends and no arguing over rooms, as both main rooms each had their own huge bathrooms! A lovely welcome pack from Jarrolds too. We will be back.

Lovely setting, and a beautiful grade 2 listed building with character. However, we had problems with water leaks from pipes in bathroom causing water coming through the ceiling to dining room, making the space unhabitable, twice. The team were quick to respond and apologetic, but you don't expect this type of issue when staying at an expensive Read moreproperty. The outdoor lights didn't work and when we lit a fire in the fireplace the carbon monoxide alarm was going for ages, so we had to open all windows and doors for a long period. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. Weve spoken to the owner and the issues have been resolved. Hide
